Survivor New Season (Sept. 15/2010)

Watched the first episode last night. Typical first show stuff, with the exception of Jimmy Johnson. I wondered how his presence (a celebrity of sorts amongst regular people) would play out. But, he was just up front by his tribe telling them he wasn't there for the money, just for the adventure. I also liked the old vs. the young aspect. Should be a good season.

We also have a former Dolphin cheerleader among the survivors, Brenda.

Is Jimmy gonna run up the score?

I don't like the power idol, but it definitely gives the older guys a better chance making it a lot more interesting.

Boy that Shannon was a piece of work eh? That was the craziest FIRST tribal council I've seen. Between him and Sash (although, I was wondering too... Sash??), and then Naonka and Judd, some serious hits and misses last night... BTW, didn't even notice that fifth guy, Benry, until council last night. Where'd he come from? lol... The young tribe is a mess... the old tribe has character... I'm rooting for the elders...and JIMMY!

Both tribal councils so far showcased people who talked too much and were voted out b/c of it. In both cases the people went in with a 50/50 chance but swung the voters against them.

Wendy was obviously weird, but became gratingly annoying at council. At the end she believed that things would have been different if she had let her personality out sooner. IMO if she had started talking sooner they might have lynched her way before tribal council.

Shannon was obviously a physical asset and had leadership qualities. But he was also a misogynist and a homophobe. People can believe what they want but in a game like Survivor its often imperative that you know which beliefs you should keep to yourself. By the time tribal council ended, he had convinced the majority he was too much of a loose cannon to keep around.

I saw both of those as classic cases of it being better to keep quiet and having people think you're a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Man, JJ Is really into this game. Did y'all see him hit that mud in the reward/immunity challenge? Dude is playin' strong. Hope he sticks around for a while. He's definitely making this a very interesting Survivor so far.

Sad to see Coach get voted off. I'm not sure who to root for now.

Right now I'm rooting for Yve. This may change as the game goes on though.

How bout that Nianca (sp????)...psycho bitch

I thought it was a bad decision to vote off JJ. For the life of me i cant see why he would be considered a threat. I dont see the older tribe winning anything without him.

That Naonka bitch cannot get off my tv soon enough! For some reason I'd love to see Fabio win.

I never understood the JJ is a threat line of thinking either.

And IMO Naonka is just not a good person. She's the type that can justify treating others badly for any selfish reason.

She's a PE teacher too...I feel bad for the kids.

When Naonka gets voted off, I wanna see her cry...

I agree with you all about JJ. I find it hard to believe that anyone would consider him a threat for the money (dude is obviously loaded). And, he seemed very sincere and genuine when he said he wanted to help them all advance in the game.

On a side, I kept thinking...man, if I was there on Survivor, and Coach Johnson was there, the conversations I'd be having with him. Especially being a Phins fan. :yes:

Yeah, that part where she basically assaulted the one legged girl for the clue to the HII, and then the diary excerpt immediately afterward where she was comparing the hood to the ghetto, or whatever the hell she was saying, I was like...she's got to go. Then a few minutes later they show her trying to read the clue, and she can't figure it out so she brings in the asian girl for help. LMAO! :lol:

Anyway, she'll get what's coming to her. Just a matter of time.

hah.. yeah, would be extremely hard to hide that alliance.

another suvivor contestant: "Boy you really like that Jimmy Johnson"

Me: "how can you tell"

the other contestant: "spooning him at night for starters!"

Me: "I was cold!"

the other contestant: "it's 85 degrees at night!"

Me: "did you factor in the ocean breeze?"

Fairly boring episode imo...glad the other Jimmy went home though. Means good, but never shuts up.

I hate 2 people this season. One just got voted off. Thank god.

That Nanonka girl......

All I have to say is I'd hit her like she was a man. LOL

Havent been a big fan of the season so far.....hopefully it will get better next week with the new tribes.

Jimmy T = Pats Fan.... not sad to see him get voted off at all... i have some people I'm pulling for.. the doctor (smartest on the show), the two cute girls on the young tribe who have been isolated from the rest. I hope Naonka gets separated from that idol when the tribes switchup LMAO...

Just saw last Wednesday's episode last night. Cant believe they didn't take out Naonka when they had the chance. She was actually campaigning to go home too! I yi yi.

Oh, and Marty better was his a**. He's not in nearly as strong a position within his tribe as he was before they were reshuffled. Honestly, I think his mouth and attitude is gonna get him voted off, which is fine by me really.

I like Brenda (well, I know I like looking at her :wink2:). I think her and Chase could do some damage together in this game. Reckon that's who I'm pulling for from here on out.

Tyrone dug his own grave...sad cuz I actually thought he was a fairly strong player.

I'm pretty sure that Brenda and Chase are on opposite tribes now
